Dental Images - Specializing in Cosmetic Dentistry in Harker Heights
Your smile is important – it leads the way in both your social and professional lives. A bright, white smile can boost your confidence, but damaged, missing, or stained teeth can have a dramatic, negative impact on how you carry yourself in social interactions. Understanding the value of a smile that is pleasing in appearance, Drs. DeLaPaz and Olson are dedicated to providing high-quality cosmetic dentistry for their Harker Heights dental patients. They use only durable, beautiful materials and careful planning to help you meet your cosmetic dentistry goals. If you’re suffering from poorly-aligned, broken, or yellowed teeth, now is the time to make a move for the benefit of your oral health and your self-image.
Services Tailored to Your Unique Needs
During your first consultation, Drs. Olson and DeLaPaz will take any necessary x-rays, photographs, and make models of your teeth in order to properly plan your treatment path. Other traits will also be examined to ensure that your treatments blend naturally. These traits may include length and width of the teeth, how the teeth line up with other facial features, and gum-to-lip distance. Once we have discussed what option best suits you, our Harker Heights cosmetic dentists will often use a 3-D mock-up or wax-up to better allow you to preview your new smile before we begin.
All treatments are recommended with your goals, lifestyle, and budget in mind. At Dental Images, our focus is to help you obtain your ideal smile. We offer many popular and effective cosmetic dentistry services to meet that end. Our treatments include:
Composite Fillings: We opt for tooth-colored fillings, instead of amalgam, that blend in with the look and feel of your natural teeth. The only people that have to you know you’ve had chipped, decayed, or worn teeth are you and your Harker Heights cosmetic dentist!
Porcelain Crowns: Porcelain is a durable material used in creating our crowns and caps. Our crowns are specially crafted to match the look of your existing teeth and are able to effectively treat broken and fractured teeth.
Porcelain Fixed Bridges: For Harker Heights cosmetic dentistry patients who have multiple missing teeth, a fixed bridge is able to permanently replace teeth and restore biting power.
Porcelain Veneers: A veneer is a thin piece of porcelain that is placed over existing teeth in order to help them appear straighter, evenly shaped, and a brighter shade of white.
Teeth Whitening in Harker Heights
Teeth Whitening has become one of the quickest and most comfortable ways to enhance the look of your smile. If your teeth have become dulled, yellowed, or otherwise discolored by years of drinking coffee, wine, cola, or tea – or other lifestyle choices such as tobacco use – our Harker Heights cosmetic dentists are happy to help you brighten your smile appeal.
Our take-home teeth whitening kits allow you to whiten your teeth from the comfort of your own home. Our skilled dental professionals will take molds of your teeth to create custom-fit trays for your mouth. Whitening takes place gently and gradually – patients who use take-home kits can skip the intense, uncomfortable process of chair-side whitening treatments.
Straighten Teeth with Invisalign®
If you have misaligned teeth, you understand how hard it is to keep up with good oral health or to feel confident about smiling around others. Harker Heights patients with crowded and gapped teeth or complex bite problems can correct these dental issues with comfortable, clear aligner therapy provided by Invisalign and our certified Invisalign dentists.
Invisalign is a system of smooth, plastic aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. The aligners are:
• Nearly Invisible
• Removable
• Comfortable
• Just as effective as braces
Our Invisalign consultations are free. Straightening your teeth without the discomfort of traditional metal braces is possible!
Your dream smile is within reach. Drs. DeLaPaz and Olson are firm believers in open communication and take care to make sure that every step of a treatment plan is explained to their patients. Close attention is paid to all cosmetic procedures so that any veneers, crowns, fillings, or bridges are both beautiful and functional.
